As so often happens when I sew from Burda mag. This is a ridiculously easy pattern but I am already confused about their in seam pockets. I thought I knew how to do simple in seam pockets, but now I am not so sure. Maybe their directions are really genius, and I am about to miss out on a great technique because I just cannot figure them out. I don't think anyone has attempted these yet, but I thought it was worth asking before I go "off road."

Can you give more information about the instructions- what is confusing? Maybe myself or someone here could help. Syndi

I did them the way you would do normal in seam pockets. It was a little odd because the pocket pieces were shaped to go all the way to the centre seam. It all seemed to work out, except that they are a bit to small! That's nothing to do with pocket construction though, lol. That's to do with vanity, and not wanting to go up a size.

Did you get them traced and cut successfully? Then I find that pinning and basting following the steps one by one sometimes works. Probably not much help, but I find taking it one step at a time works for me? Is there a particular part of the instruction giving you grief? ------ Sue (Toowoomba Qld) Love to sew.... http://quiltsewsewsue.blogspot.com/
